Did you find a pair of shoes, size 8, large, slipper type, brown or black ……………
English type, left goes right and vice versa !!!! Perfect for double de-clutch when racing a SEAT 490! |

I thought it was a relatively small entry for the series considering how well it has grown in recent years but wondered if a few would turn up last minute. Are people getting fed up with being beaten by small class Escorts with stonking engines, and are the later car owners thinking of doing something else? I really would like to see a UK meeting next year, I think it would benefit the regulars and anyone looking to take part from our shores. |

Very interesting indeed, both of you. Wasn't the Escort's "of rental" much quicker in period than the works 2.6 RS even when racing at Jarama? Is Steve Dance car a Westlake or a GAA engine, Mike? And yes as already said, the Batmobile's seem less fast than they are supposed to be. It could become an Escort BDG cup, this engine is not allowed in the Iberian series.

Our report is online. And for what it is worth, I found the cap, so any rewards should go to me |

Absolutely!
Gerard, Steve Dance's current Grob Capri is Weslake engined, but I believe he is working on a GA car..... A 'works' Zak Escort won the European Championship in 74 (?) but it was class based. Capri and CSL were usually fighting for victory, but from memory the Escy won one round outright, so a good one should be near to the front of the grid. And apologies for twice putting a 'K' on the end of 'Pinepac'........ |

I couldn't see your K in the Mustang Mike.
But I wonder if GrOb should be read GrAb or not … |

Thank you Pieter!
And I doubt the Stephens tow car is limited to 90kph! Main problem was not being able to get a booking for the Monday ferry. Britney playing silly wotsits again......... |

Best bit was missing the bun fight to get out of the paddock sunday eve. PA book their meetings until monday as contractors have to dismantle all the tents and hospitality stuff on that day. |

Sure Mike, sure… Some years ago we use to say that knowing some blokes spending time and a lot of money at the "Lovely" located few yards outside of the track. Now its a simple restaurant. But if they want to be period correct they have to bring back the girls!

...for anyone interested, engine is fine...so clearly it was just me being paranoid (thank god!!)
Brake issue was caused by rear disk "delaminating"....clearly got a bit hot! |

You've been more careful and more clever than I was, unfortunately. Last time I saw an idiot light thought it was a false alarm. One piston later it was clear that the idiot was at wheel and the lamp is now called stupid light!
If its not a secret, what brand do you use for disc brakes? |

Rear brakes likely overheating due to the car achieving higher speeds with that shiny new paint job! |
